I will choose both because the two have a very vital role to play in a relationship or marriage.

If we want to be sincere to ourselves, the majority of us here both male and female, will not marry someone who is not financially stable no matter the level of love we have for the person. Before it was just about women not wanting to marry a man that is not financially stable Nowadays Men also do not want a liability as a wife.

I want to share with us a few reasons why Love and money are needed to sustain a marriage.

One of the reasons Love is needed to sustain a marriage is for Emotional support. This will create a secure and nurturing environment. It will help individuals feel understood, valued, and less alone in facing life's challenges.

Another reason Love is necessary is shared Goals and lifestyle. When couples are rooted in Love, they have a strong emotional connection, their life will likely align, there will be unity and mutual understanding among them.

Another reason is that they will be Emotionally fulfilled. They will derive Joy from shared experiences and companionship.

Another reason Love is necessary in marriage is that it helps in Problem-solving. When there is Love and a strong emotional bond, it encourages open communication and problem-solving. Love helps couples navigate conflicts and emerge stronger.

Another Reason Love is necessary is that When there is Love, there will be a desire to build a family. Emotional bonds help strengthen family ties and contribute to a supportive environment for children.

Finally Another Reason why Love is necessary is that when there is love, individual well-being will be promoted. A supportive partner encourages personal growth and self-discovery.

We will now delve in to see the Reasons why Money is also needed to sustain a relationship/marriage.

First when there is money, there will be an extra layer of security. There won't be stress related to basic needs. A man not having money to cater for the home will always feel insecure that the wife might leave him even when there is love. The marriage or relationship will not enjoy peace.

Another reason is that when there is money, it will facilitate a comfortable lifestyle, offering opportunities for leisure, travel, and personal enjoyment. The couples will be able to create lasting memories together. So money is also important in marriage.

Another reason is that Money in marriage will provide a buffer during challenging times. When couples face unexpected situations, money will help them tackle it without the added stress of financial strain, reinforcing their ability to overcome adversity.

Another reason is that when there is money, both individuals will support family planning by providing resources for education, healthcare, and a comfortable upbringing. Love alone cannot do this. As a man or a woman you need money to cater for your family's needs.

Love and money in a relationship or marriage creates a holistic and fulfilling partnership. Love provides emotional depth, while financial stability offers practical advantages, allowing couples to navigate life's journey with resilience, shared goals, and enhanced well-being. Love and marriage should be well balanced as they play a vital role to sustaining a relationship or Marriage.
